It's good there's a lamp fixture over the sign on the wall so you can tell there's lodgings there at night... Port Townsend is a cute little town. Stopped there on our way to Victoria and saw a play at the Key City Public Theater about a trip down the Colorado River done by an all female cast. Nice shot Brian!

It is. I can walk on the ferry at Coupeville and be in PT in 20 mins or so. Makes for a pleasant afternoon.

Nice shot Brian!

Thanks Gary.

The seated figure makes the shot - for me at least, Brian. There's a story there, I'm sure.

The light really brings out the once fancy, now faded facade of the building. As Rob says, the seated figure lifts the image beyond what is already a pleasing image of light and shadow, shape and texture.

Yeah the person makes the shot for me, too, Rob. Thanks Rob.

Thanks Beth. Fort Worden is a fun place to visit. I imagine you got some shots of Point Wilson Lighthouse.

Across the water on Whidbey Island is Fort Casey. (It, along with Fort Worden and Fort Flagler, on Marrowstone Island, were intended as a triangle of fire to protect the channel separating Whidbey from the Olympic Peninsula.) Anyway, Fort Casey has on display a couple of the massive "disappearing guns" that hid behind their fortifications once they had discharged a shell. From the sea you cannot tell there is even a fort there, such is the clever placement of the battlements and guns within the terrain. I think you'd like it there, too.

I had this idea about capturing an image of Fort Casey in a panoramic look. I made sure to get there early in the morning so that I didn't have people in the image. The picture I saw in my mind's eye was far more dynamic than the shots I actually made to replicate what I saw in my head, but I...

Love this Brian. Great scene, great pose, great shadow, great sign!
I never stopped in Port Townsend when I caught the ferry. Perhaps I should have.

Thanks a lot, Chris. It's definitely worth a stop if you're ever in the area again.
